THE FORAGER'S LIVING ALMANAC · NO. 1
Know where to look,
before you go.
Every morning, Sporia cross-checks recent rainfall, soil temperature and the season to predict fruiting — species by species, municipality by municipality.
The map app is in French for now — English is coming soon.
HOW IT WORKS
The forest leaves clues.
We read them.
A cep doesn't appear by chance. It needs rain, soil that is still warm, and the host tree nearby. Sporia keeps watch over all of this continuously, across France, down to one kilometre.
